The first people arrive at 7:05am here at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY to place their “I Voted” stickers at the grave of Susan B. Anthony. It was November 5, 1872 when Anthony illegally voted in the presidential election, resulting in her arrest. #ElectionDay @News_8 https://t.co/4yklblxbqY

Placing "I voted" stickers on Anthony's grave has been a local tradition in Rochester for years, but large numbers turned out during the 2018 election to pay tribute to Hillary Clinton's historic turn as the first-ever woman presidential nominee.

Back in 1872, Anthony voted illegally in the presidential election to protest women being unable to cast ballots. A leading voice in the suffragette movement, she was charged and fined for her attempt to vote.

"I vote for the women who fought, who suffered, and who never saw the day women as a nation could have a voice," wrote @hotrodbetties on Instagram, along with a photo of Anthony's grave with over a dozen voter stickers on it.
